Description

The NSF ELEGANT program is an Other‑Transaction Agreement solicitation seeking (i) an Ecosystem Coordinator and (ii) Expert Performer Teams to translate low‑dimensional semiconductor technologies into industry‑ready platforms across five thematic areas (materials, process/PDK, device‑chip demonstration, manufacturing readiness, and AI‑enabled acceleration). Up to $150 M is available over a six‑year period, with each phase lasting roughly 24 months. Proposals must be submitted by 5 p.m. ET on 18 Dec 2026 and are open to U.S.‑based entities registered in SAM. The effort emphasizes outcome‑based milestones, industry adoption criteria, and coordination among multiple teams and a central coordinator.

Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $40,000,000

The total NSF allocation for ELEGANT is up to $150 M over six years. Individual award ceilings are $12 M for the Ecosystem Coordinator and between $6 M and $43 M for the five thematic Expert Performer Teams. Assuming a competitive split among several awardees, a single award could realistically range from a few million dollars for a smaller theme team up to roughly $40 M for a large materials‑platform effort. The estimate therefore spans $5 M (lower bound for a modest team) to $40 M (upper bound for a major theme). Funding is milestone‑based, so actual cash flow will depend on performance, but the total contract value will fall within this range.
